Discarded AT&T Microwave Bunkers For Sale

InitZero writes "American Tower is selling nearly 2000 old AT&T Long Line microwave locations that are no longer needed thanks to fiber. These towers -- spaced about 50 miles in every direction -- and their associated bunkers were designed to withstand World War III. The average location (find one near you) has two acres of land, 1,800 square feet worth of bunker and a tower of 200 feet. Some locations still have their hardware (60KW generator, microwave feedlines, equipment racks, feed horns, etc.) All this for an average price of just $25,000. If you're a ham radio operator, building a data center or just looking for a place to put your wireless access point, these locations look awesome."

So, we all hear about Wifi, local bands, high speed internet connection not available in most parts of the US....

And now we see offered something we could use...

Somebody makes the caculations for me, but a 60KW generator,equipment racks, feed horns, etc. could be used to make... a WIFI Internet Coverage, nation wide...

Now, a 60KW transmitter could cover some range...

If not WIFI, their is definetly the possibility to use another tech to spread the signal... and to use cheap transmiters to connect to the net wherever you are....

So, It's 50 Million US$ for the towers, say another 50 millions to re-equip them all with blastingly powerfull WIFI transmitters and radar cupollas to catch users signals...

I seem to remember that people used to invest Billions in Internet backbones... and not even for a national one...

OK, I hereby Copyright this idea !!! You can join me in this joint venture, I bring the Ideas, U bring the capital, and we'll offer the US a decent national High Speed connection network in the Go ...8)

Please contact me under this message if you have 100 Millions US in capital, and a wish to strike it richer 8)

See me on Fortunes, Guys 8)))
